“Shone” was one of the biggest hits of the jook movement and got as much radio play as the other jook standout “I’m So High” by Grind Mode. What’s impressive is that he stole the spotlight on “Dangerous” from local favorite Ice Berg. When the beat breaks his knack for making catchy melodies is shown in how he self-loops parts of his bars. It’s a poorly mixed track that turns out being a jam partly because Ball Greezy.
